A valve is the part of the faucet that connects to the pipework and actually controls the flow of the water. Many shower faucets do not include a valve, and are just the "trim", or the decorative part of the faucet. If you select a faucet that is the trim only, be careful to select the appropriate valve you need to make the faucet work. This should be clearly stated in the product specifications.
